Oh yeah, about affording the gas. I'm a college student with a fetish for taking road trips in my V10 truck and frequently hitting 115mph while doing so. I can afford it, and no my parents don't pay for $hit. It's about $60 a fill up, once a week, in the ATL with gas at $2.50

You must have a big tank or expensive gas. My gas guage reads empty when it has about 7 gallons left and it reads full for about 8 gallons. I love when i just fill up and the gauge goes over full and I drive around without it moving for a while, but it always compensates by going down extra fast later.......

I filled up yesterday.....its more like $2.85- 2.89 for 87 at most stations around here....granted I'm sure if I searched or went to the reservation I could find it a bit cheaper. we have the highest gas prices in the country in the buffalo area and when they investigated it on the news you should have seen all the bs answers they got.....It was a joke many were complete lies.....sigh damn NY corruption!

There pretty much the same - a few other things like Miami said.
